ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A passenger stripped naked during a US Airways flight and resisted a flight attendant's efforts to cover him with a blanket before two off-duty law enforcement officers on board subdued and handcuffed him, authorities said Wednesday.

Keith Wright, 50, of the Bronx in New York, was taken into custody after he disrobed while sitting in his seat in the back of Flight705 on Tuesday evening, authorities said. The plane was carrying about 148 passengers from North Carolina to Los Angeles, the airline said.
